Steps:
- For the filling: In a food processor, pulse together almonds and confectioners' sugar until powdery. Add remaining filling ingredients and continue to pulse until mixture forms a stiff paste. Mold paste into a ball, wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (and up to two days).
- For the pastry: Using an electric mixer, mix flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg yolk, orange blossom water and 2 tablespoons cold water until combined. With mixer running, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more water, as needed, until dough just comes together. Continue to beat until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets. Place orange blossom water in a small, shallow bowl. Place confectioners' sugar in another shallow bowl.
- Divide dough in half and cover one half with damp cloth. Transfer other half to a lightly floured surface and roll it to 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough into 3-inch rounds with a cookie cutter.
- Using your hands, roll two teaspoons of filling into a ball and place in center of round. Repeat, filling all dough circles. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush border of each with water. Fold bottom of dough over filling, forming a half-circle, and press edges to seal. With tip of a sharp knife, make three small diagonal slits on top of each pastry. Bend pastries into a crescent shape and transfer them to baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Roll out remaining dough, and repeat. Transfer pastries to oven and bake until pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Working quickly, dip each hot pastry one at a time first in orange blossom water, then in confectioners' sugar, completely covering pastry with sugar. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Dust pastries with additional confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Steps:
- In a large chilled bowl, combine the butter, sunflower oil, flour, and salt.
- Using your fingertips, rub the flour and butter together until they look like flakes of coarse meal (Do NOT over mix).
- Pour 6 tablespoons ice water all at once into the mixture; toss together lightly.
- Gather the dough into a ball.
- If the dough crumbles, add ice water a few drops at a time until everything sticks together and forms a soft dough (up to 2 tablespoons).
- Divide the dough in half, dust each half with a little flour, and wrap in waxed paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C, gas mark 4).
- Spread the almonds out in a shallow baking pan and toast them in the middle of the oven until they are lightly browned, turning them occasionally (8-10 minutes).
- Pulverize the almonds in a blender, nut grinder, or using a mortar and pestle.
- Then, using the back of a spoon, rub ground almonds through a fine sieve into a deep bowl.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon orange blossom water and knead with your hands into a stiff paste.
- Add the almond paste, butter, and egg, and beat vigorously with a spoon until mixture is smooth.
- Raise the oven temp to 400°F.
- On a lightly floured surface, pat half of the dough into a rough rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Dust a little flour over and under the rectangle, and roll it out from the center to within an inch or so of the far edge of the pastry.
- Lift the dough and rotate it 90°; roll again from the center to within an inch or so of the far edge.
- Repeat - lifting, turning, rolling - until the rectangle is a little less than 1/8-inch thick (If the dough sticks at any point during the rolling, lift it gently with a metal spatula and sprinkle a little flour under it).
- Using a ruler and a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3-inch squares.
- For each cookie, roll 1 teaspoon almond filling between your palms to form a cylinder about 2-inches long and 1/2-inch in diameter.
- Place a square of dough so that it's oriented as a diamond, and place the cylinder horizontally across it 1/2-inch down from the top point.
- Lift the top point up and fold it over so that it covers the filling.
- Then, starting with the folded edge, roll the dough up tightly jelly-roll fashion.
- Pinch the ends firmly closed, and gently shape the roll into a crescent.
- Arrange the crescents about 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake in the middle of the oven until golden brown (20 minutes).
- Transfer to wire racks and sprinkle them evenly with 1 tablespoon orange blossom water.
- One at a time, dip the pastries in the powdered sugar to coat them lightly, and return them to the racks to cool.
- While the first batch is baking, roll out and cut the remaining half of the dough, and repeat the process for filling and shaping.
- While the first batch is cooling, bake the second batch until golden brown (20 minutes).
- Transfer to wire racks and sprinkle them evenly with the remaining tablespoon orange blossom water.
- Roll in powdered sugar, and let cool to room temperature before serving.
